I saw the other post about leg conformation and I would like an opinion on my mini's leg conformation, she cow hocks too. These pics are old, the two were taken 9-25-2011, she was 5 months. She is an AMHR April born weanling, B size. She may be a little better now, but not certain. Also she had stifle lock once not long before these pics. Would this cause her to be cow hocked, because I am not certain she was before it happened(not sure if you can tell in the youngest pic). I heard they can get better as they fill out, true? Also would it cause her to walk sort of outwards and have trouble pivoting off the rear legs or is it just because of her being cow hocked? I just never had a horse get stifle lock or be cow hocked. None of our other minis or Shetlands have these issues. I hate that she does as she is the sweetest girl and nothing phases her which makes her a great obstacle prospect if only I can get her to pivot off the rear legs. She pivots great off the front.
